I had an amazing time experience here! My brother is a huge fan of Prince so he was anxious to show me around. I absolutely loved the tour guide and how knowledgeable they were of questions. Prior to the tour,no phones are allowed but later on you can take as many photos when you come to the end of the section. Even if you re not a huge fan of Prince,you will benefit from this!
Very Welcoming Atmosphere. The Tour around the property was Gracious. A dining area and a gift shop. A must to go Experience it at any Level.
If you are a Prince fan, this is a must! Seeing the world through the eyes of a Genius! The accomplishments of a tireless artists. If you are new to the Prince universe, beginning to understand his life included 39 studio albums with over 50 albums of material and a vault with over 1000 unreleased songs... His music or persona may not be to your liking but his singular musical genius will outlast me and you. Walk through the halls built by genius for genius! Paisley Park is in your heart!
Excellent place for true fans. You could feel the Purple One's spirit in the building. The your was full of fun facts and actual Prince costumes. Loved it!!!!
It was cool to take a tour but what I didn t like is that they had your phone / watches turned off put in a locked pouch before entering the home because no pictures was allowed because he was a private person.. if he was so private why was this open up for the public.. we go to museums to take pictures especially for things as such. When we were in the area where he had concerts the phone was then able to be unlocked and pictures was taken but it wasn t nothing really anything in there to take pictures off.. THE PRINCE SYMBOL.. THE STAGE.. TWO CARS.. A BIKE AND CLOTHES.. they talk about being private it s about money... ANOTHER THING WAS THAT THEM DOVES the tour guide that I had said something about the doves singing and she didn t know why they wasn t singing and hat they might be sleep.. if I m right the doves wasn t singing because the two that prince had, had DIED..and I do believe the tour guide knew this..one died a couple of years back and one died a few months ago.. so if you don t know then you would just think that they were sleep.. I was expecting an different experience that wasn t delivered..So if anyone is looking for the experience to take pictures don t get your hopes up to high pictures is limited to one room.. however I can say I did a little about him that I didn t know.. other than that it was cool to go to and say I ve been to PRINCE house..but if your a true Music lover and can look over the fact no pictures then this might be for you
A friend bought me a gift certificate to visit here and I must say it is truly an amazing experience! Photos are allowed outside and once you reach the sound stage. The beginning of the tour is informative and full of detailed information. It's impossible to capture all that Prince did or was or influenced but they do a pretty good job. It comes alive when you step into the sound stage and they turn on the music and you feel like you're at a concert! Not to be missed!
Enjoyed my visit a lot! If I could just forget how much I paid for it, I'd enjoy it even more. I got a nice long tour about an hour and a half, saw lots of places and memorabilia.
It is a great experience if you can justify the cost or have money to blow. The gift shop will have you forking over a ton of money too.
I hope they bring back live music soon, that would definitely be a great experience.
This is Mecca for every Prince fan! To be at the place where Prince lived, created, performed and recorded is AWESOME! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly! Crossing it off my Bucket List!
Took my mother here for her birthday as she's a big fan of Prince. I'm a fan as well, but not to the level of my mother to where when we got our passes at the front desk the lady informed us that we can keep them she proceeds to yell out "YES!!!". Our tour guide Tommy was incredible, he spoke from the heart and had so much behind the scene stories and knowledge that it made our Ultimate tour that much more memorable.
At first, when you go through security you get the impression that they're guarding the nearest silos nuclear launch codes with how heavy the protocol is of having to turn off/lock up your phone and pat downs, etc. But once the tour begins you quickly realize why...this was Prince's studio AND his home. Something so private and delicate, certain areas left untouched by The Purple One. Absolutely incredible....to physically be in the same place where Prince once stood, to see why he did things the way he did and to just get that even deeper understanding of inarguably one of the greatest artists of our lifetime, you really can't find reason on why you shouldn't take the trip out to Paisley Park.
My Prince, I always knew would be successful, and we'll known. One thing I regret is not being there. I couldn't be a good father. All I can do is be there for the ones that are left the best way I can be. I wish I could of kicked it, and got to know you, I went through many names figuring our a name. Many his mother used later. He was my Prince. One of my children that I'll never get to meet, sounds like he was just like me. Party, party, party. Enjoy life. Life can be hard at times, all I can say is sleep, eat, clear your head, and do your best not to give up. Anyone can be pushed to suicide I think, just a matter of how bad will it get before you can't take it anymore. We just have to do our best to keep on keep in on without them cause they aren't hurting anymore. Rest in peace, My Prince. I'm sorry you didn't have me as a good man. I love you son.
